This illustration just radiates awesomeness! I have been using your "Cheer Up" wallpaper for the last few weeks, and was muy happy...and now it has been replaced because I love this one even more! I definitely voted and will snag it if it becomes a shirt, but I think it may be even more awesome as my wallpaper! You're still my new hero!

Of course you mean the objects in the shirt, ooze and baby turtles. But nobody is arguing that those are his idea, so at best you've got a strawman argument.

Maybe nobody is addressing your points because they fall over so quickly.

gizmoduck isn't arguing that the implementation is the same. He's saying that the idea BEHIND the design is the same. By misrepresenting his argument, you yourself are the one using the strawman argument.

I agree with gizmo and Josephus here. I don't know much about TMNT but from the screencap that was posted, I have to say that there is nothing new here. As others have said, there is no commentary or parody. It's basically the same as in the movie (and the comic?), only drawn in a different style.

No copyright infringement, so I'm sure woot will print it. Props to DF for thinking of putting this on a shirt. I also appreciate the style of the linework, even though I'm not fond of the distressing.

The only thing about this design that I can't understand or get behind is why Adder seemed to like it after his multiple tirades against simplicity, anime, and stick figures. No insults because I LIKE the stick figure shirts, but this is about a half step up from it.

I'm loathe to buy from Spreadshirt because of the lower quality and higher cost. If you put this on Cameesa, you'll have my support. And if not any of those, could you please TeeFury it before going to Spreadshirt?

This is a great design, it would be really great if Woot would use fashion soft for the dark green instead of using all plastisol ink. The only problem is they most likely won't and then its all of that thick ink on the shirt and the seperation between the head and the snake will blend a little too much... oh well,
Great work though!

Yeah i was about to accuse you of using a strawman argument on me, but you do have a technical point. He's arguing against the idea being different, even though that's not what anyone thinks the merit of shirt is. So it's not quite really a strawman... it's just... belligerence?

hotcha

My point is, was, has been that the content/concept/idea is 100% unoriginal. You all agree with me. The artist agrees with me. And yet even though we are all in agreement about that fact, my point, the thing I've been talking about the whole time, you all insist on telling me I'm wrong about it. We agree it's an unoriginal idea, but yet I'm wrong when I say that it is.

Yeah sorry about that, i guess i should have asked - why do you keep harping on this non-issue when everyone already agrees with you?

Well, one of the claims to fame that shirt.woot lays claim to (uh, I think that's what I mean) is that the work be original. They repeatedly have rejected shirts, not only for being similar to other shirts, but also for a general lack of originality. I can see his(her) point in this case, it isn't at all original. Here's the thing, though. It will sell a ton of shirts. They know that, I know that, everyone who's seen it and the comments it has generated knows that. Because of that, they won't reject it, unless they become convinced not only that it is a copyright infringement, but also likely to get sued over.

Adder: "Sod Off??"
Baldrick: "Yeah, when I was a young lad playing in the gutter, I used to say to all the other snipes, "'Allo, my names Baldrick". And they'd say, "Yes we know, Sod Off Baldrick"

My lord! If people use multiple accounts to further their design votes, the entire system of shirt.woot could be as broken as this vase.

Had to say it. Once I realized where your name came from I just couldn't resist.

Really? I'm the first with anything to say about such a cool design?
...We'll it reminds me of the drawings I like to do. I take it it's a plant's roots growing out, but it looks like an angel to me, or a butterfly, or badly mutated DNA. Whatever, GMV.

Im surprised this didnt get rejectorated. I assumed farts and poop jokes are the same thing, and if I remember correctly poop jokes are auto rejects right? Sure... poops jokes are just a little bit more solid than fart jokes but...

BA ZING!

Everything is ahead of my poop shirt now, someone tattled on it because they couldn't handle the greatness.
